low cost plywood tank with tarp liner

600 gal plastic tank replaced by a 500 gal plywood tank

A pressure treated plywood tank is built by the homeowner or local volunteers.

Two 4 x 8 foot sheets of pressure treated plywood are the sides on the tank. Two 8 FT 4 inch x 4 inch posts yield four 4 inch by 4 inch posts that connect the plywood at the corners. Lag screws hold the tank together. 


A 15 ft by 19 foot heavy duty plastic tarp forms the bottom and inside walls of the tank to make it waterproof. 


A plastic bulkhead flange is used to create a 3 inch output port for a 3 inch suction hose which delivers water from the tank to the pump.


3/4 inch plywood is recommended. Pressure treated costs more, but is best choice if homeowner can afford it.
